I sense that some fans are being a little tentative with regard our ability against some of the 'big boys' in this league. I can understand that some think a 'reality check' is coming our way. Personally I dare to dream and maintain this positive vibe. We can do it if we can keep them out and I believe we can😜Come on Leeds MOT.

great positive post PP, I think it's a great time to play Norwich, we're capable of winning there because we're a good side and we can definitely beat Newcastle at ER in front of a big crowd because we're a good side. guess what i'm saying is we are now a good side (! ) and teams won't relish playing us because we're not a soft touch anymore because at last we've got leaders in our team so bring it on I say. hope I've not put the mockers on it now tho!

Think we will get a result at Norwich. Said we needed result against them in cup, which we got, and to put a few past Burton, which we did, if we had played well from start could have been 4. Stopped worrying about other teams to be honest. We are defensively sound midfield playing well and goals will start to come. Let them worry about us, if we play to our strengths we will be hard for anyone to beat. Norwich will not be looking forward to playing us again and the hammering they took will be at the back of their mind when they take to the pitch and that will either work for us or against us, we have to make it work for us. can't wait for Newcastle game.

I'd be hopeful of 11 points from next 6 games. Should be achievable. I think success breeds success and our run of above average form should continue! Can't see why we should completely fall apart cause we come against big boys. Only Brighton and Newcastle should cause a few problems.

Great positivity lads I'm certainly feeling it . As the season wears on if we stay solid we'll definitely start to score more . Feeling good about it all . Mot.

Positivity is great and it can only effect the team in a good way but judging by how fickle fans can be, if we lose to Norwich and then Newcastle, all the positive promotion vibes will be out of the window and the doom and gloomers will be back slagging the team and management off. I said at the start of the season we'd have good and bad runs and it's important that we realise what a tough league we are in. It's been said countless times that any team can beat another and this is true. So, when we do lose a couple, let's not go overboard, likewise when we win a few, let's not get too carried away. We are still very much work in progress. Having said that, can't wait to visit Wemberley to see us in the league cup final as I see us missing out on the play offs as we'll be promoted automatically!

Certainly some big tests coming and when we get through the other side we're in December where a lot of people at the beginning of the season said judge us then. I think we'll do OK. Our defence is solid and the midfield is starting to gell. If we can put away some of the chances we've been missing then top 6 at Christmas will be on the cards.

Behaviour breeds behaviour so let the positivity reign. If we lose then let's at least give em a game - WE ARE LEEDS👍🏻🍻! MOT.

Good point well put Mr Michael. At the start of the season I would have been happy with a top 10 finish, stability and something to build on for 2017-18 season where I'd be hoping for a top 6 finish. I'm getting a little giddy because giddiness has been in short supply in recent years. Living the dream again.

I'm happy with most of the recent results that we have had, however, the next few fixtures are going to be very tough and will probably be a better measure of how good we are. Newcastle, Villa (twice) , Norwich, Brighton and Reading will all be very tough and Rotherham will probably do better against us than the rest of he league since its their cup final. I hope I'm wrong but we might struggle to get more than 11 points between now and January. The defence will have to be at their very best but if we do well then come January if we have performed well and kept it tight I think we have a massive chance this year. IMO the next 2 months will make or break our season.

only 11 in 2 months? I'm of the opinion, 8 - 10 from the home games, and another half a dozen or more from the away ones. Starting with 3 on Saturday :)

Teams like Norwich tend to bounce quickly. I remember the last time they came down - they got thumped by seven goals and then went on a winning streak and did very well that season. We are scraping wins this seasons which is good considering the way games used to pan out. Burton could have, and should have, scored before we did and they are no Norwich. The EFL game is no indicator for the championship as both teams made wholesale changes. If we come away with anything other than a loss we will have done very well and that will be a good omen for the rest of the season. When we get close to the playoffs and Christmas we usually take a severe dip in results if its different this season we can then start to hope with good reason.

You'really right Hessle a point will be a good result if we can keep a clean sheet that would be a bonus.
